rose Surrey (ground cover)
rose Surrey (ground cover) was £4.99 now £3.49
Position: full sunSoil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soilRate of growth: fast-growingFlowering period: July to SeptemberFlower colour: rose-pinkOther Features: excellent cut-flowersHardiness: fully hardyClusters of cup-shaped, fragrant, double, rose-pink flowers from July to September and masses of dark green leaves. This vigorous, repeat-flowering, ground cover rose is renowned for its long flowering period and fragrant blooms. Forming a small, arching mound it's perfect for suppressing weeds in sun or partial shade.Garden care: Before planting shorten thick roots to 25cm (10in) and reduce top-growth to an outward-facing bud 8-15cm (3-6in) above ground-level. Plant during a frost-free spell, incorporating well-rotted organic matter and a balanced fertiliser into the planting hole. Ensure that the 'bud union' (the bulge at the base of the shoots) is 2.5cm (1in) below the soil.All our roses are field grown. In October/November they are dug up and potted. However, they will not produce any new roots until spring, so don't be surprised if the compost falls away from the roots when winter planting. Some suppliers send out 'bare root' plants unpotted, but we don't as it is easier to manage them on the nursery in pots.
